Summary
This study compares two antiviral drugs, brivudine and famciclovir, in 140 adults with shingles. The main goal is to see which one reduces pain more effectively after 30 days. Researchers will also check how quickly skin lesions heal and whether long-term nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia) is prevented. Participants take one pill daily for 7 days.
